I Know Him As Father
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when He adopted you as His own children. Now we call Him, "Abba, Father."
Romans 8:14-15

Romans 8:14-15
To some people, the idea of a close relationship with God seems so foreign. Whether it comes from a feeling that God is vast, therefore must be distance, or that we are only one among millions, or perhaps a negative experience without earthly fathers, the idea that we cannot be close to God is not biblical.
Our heavenly Father walked in the garden with Adam and Eve, that was His intent. He spoke to the patriarchs and was close with them. The entire salvation story, including the verse above, is a story of God’s plan to re-connect with us.
We are His children. He is our Father.
Have you become distant of late? He is not far. He is right there with you. Not only can you know Him as Father. He desires it.
